He got caught by one of the hardest hitting ufc fighters besides Pat Barry and Kongo, WAR LEBEN, but please do the right thing and give Wandy some credit for coming right in the pocket and trying to trade.
Much respect to both fighters
Dont retire plz

not sure if that comment was directed towards me but what I mean when I say “fighter’s mentality” is one where you become a different person in the cage. That doesnt necessarily mean stuck your chin in the air and throw as hard as you can (to me atleast) I can appreciate what both someone like Wandy does in the ring AND what GSP does in the ring. I simply meant that Wand is the perfect example of being a softy outside the cage and a savage inside, being able to flip a switch, that being a fighters mentality, getting in there to do your job and win that fight. HOW one wins the fight is entirely different (sort of like GSP’s style vs. Wand’s style).

paddedummy I agree with your point on GSP but totally disagree with your assessment of Wandy.

When he was on his game in Pride he used all aspects of his Muay Thai using his kness, kicks and punches. He has a black belt in BJJ but always reverted to the Chute Boxe style of Muay Thai.

He has skills in all aspects and definitely has what is needed to teach. His style was always exciting but as I said and I stand by that, he became one dimensional long before he came to the UFC this go around.

As for the other guys ignorant comments about steroids being what made him great, then please explain his decline with losses to Cro Cop and Henderson months apart to ko? He had a split decision win over Yoshida, a split decision win over Arona following a split decesion loss to him before that in 2005. He had slowed down tremendously as he was fighting a lot and was in too many wars in a short period of time.

He declined because of the way he fought, he needs to wake up and get out.

He will always be one of the all-time greats regardless of the apparent hate he still receives from some.
